Talk:1. FC Union Berlin

Why is there a "1." at the start of this team's name?

 * In German, a period following a number indicates an ordinal number, so the name of this club literally translated would be First Football Club Union Berlin. The club, somewhat dubiously, is claiming to have been the first ever football club founded Berlin. This type of naming convention is quite common among German football clubs. See for example: 1. FC Köln, 1. FC Nürnberg, 1. FC Kaiserslautern, 1. FC Heidenheim etc. Sir Sputnik (talk) 14:28, 18 May 2017 (UTC)
 * re the "somewhat dubiously": It doesn't mean they are the first club that played football in Berlin, but the first club that was founded specifically in order to play football and taking the name "FC" (I don't know if it's true, but formulated that way it does sound less dubious). The BSC in Hertha BSC stands for "Berlin Sports Club" and they were meant to play all sorts of sports. BFC Dynamo was a football club, but was actually a branch of a GDR-wide club (the "Sportvereinigung Dynamo") which had sides all over the GDR, so, not Berlin-specific. But the first football club founded gets the "1st". FC Bayern München, for example, could not get it, and the reason is not the football-side of (general sports club) TSV 1860, but the now quite unknown 1st Munich FC 1896 (contrary to its claim founded in 1899).--2001:A61:3A23:CA01:A8FB:7731:263A:4DCD (talk) 12:46, 5 December 2020 (UTC)

”1. FC Union Berlin is led mostly by fans.”
In the section ”Organization” it is written that ”1. FC Union Berlin is led mostly by fans.” What does this mean? That most people on leading positions are fans of the club, but not all, or that the club is led by people active in the supporter scene? If the latter, any source for that? Kindest. /EriFr (talk)

Player records - sources?
The section Player records lacks sources. The satistics are also quite questionable. As examples: Uwe Borchardt scored 71 goals in total for Union between 1980 and 1987 and Olaf Seier scored 49 goals in total for Union between 1983 and 1991. Both are missing. (The key is also a bit confusing. According to the key, the statistics only include professional matches. But it seems like matches in NOFV-Oberliga and Regionalliga Nordost are inluded?)

Main Picture
Why is the main picture the picture of the club's stadium and not the logo of the club? Djprasadian (talk) 01:24, 11 August 2022 (UTC)

"Copyright". What a load of crap. Encyclopedias, schoolbooks, and the like should be exempt from that. If anything, it's free advertising. Ah, well. Gott (talk) 21:42, 7 November 2022 (UTC)
